CONTRACT -RAISING OF DAIRY COWS
(This message provided through
the courtesy of Hensall District
Co-operative)
Some years ago there was a
flurry of interest in a manage-
ment system for dairy farms that
called for selling all calves at
birth and buying springers as
needed to keep up milk produc-
tion. While some large .American
operations in high tax areas fol-
lowed this kind of program, few
Ontario dairymen accepted it
Witli increasing costs of opera-
tion in some fluid milk produc-
tion areas, where land values are
high, and with increasing cost of
mechanized equipment needed to
operate a large milking herd, it
might be worth taking a second
look at some form of this phil-
osophy.
According to Dr. J. B. Stone,
department of animal science, Uni-
versity of Guelph, there is a better
method than selling the heifer
calves to achieve the seine advan-
tages. Contract raising of calves
avoids two or three serious draw-
backs that go with selling them.
It is often impossible to buy
springers carrying as good produc-
tion potential as the heifer calves
you have to sell. Then there is
the potential problem of bringing
diseases hame with the new spring -

ers you buy. •
Under the contract raising pro-
posal of Dr. Stone, the heifer
calves are moved soon after birth
to another farm where the farm
owner contracts to raise and care
for them until just before the
first freshening.
This plan releases space, feed
and time to permit a larger milk-
ing herd, but retains a breeder's
own heifers for him at freshening
time. It allows you to raise them
under the supervision and care of
a competent farmer known to you,
A flat monthly charge plus an
extra charge per pound of gain
seems to be the best method of
payment for the service of raising
the heifers. This is preferable to
either a straightly monthly charge
or a charge based on gain alone.
In the one case heifers might tend
to be underfed, while in the other
they might be overfed.
A contract system works best if
there is clear agreement at the
beginning on several points, ac-
cording to Dr. Stone.
These include: the age of the
calf at delivery, and age of recall
of the bred heifer; payment of
transportation both ways; means
of identifying animals; payment
of breeding costs; method and
time of payment for raising heife-
rs; liability in case of death; age,
method and payment for dehorn-
ing; responsibility for health tests
and vaccinations; and finally, a
method for arbitration of any
dispute.
• As an alternative to the pay-
ment of a fee for raising the heif-
ers, the calves could be sold to
an option for re -purchasing giving
the farmer raising them, but with
the original owner first chance to
buy the heifer at a stated age.
Again in this case there should be
clear agreement on the purchase
and sale prices and on the many
points involved in raising the
heifers.
